The secret to getting a top grade in Korean that only I want to know
Description
Book Introduction
“No matter how much I study, I am stuck in Korean.
“I don’t know where to start or how to start.”
Without wavering in the 12-year college entrance exam race
Top-tier Korean language study strategies to maintain your top ranking
Unlike English and math, Korean is the subject in which private tutoring begins the latest, a subject in which even children who have consistently maintained a high ranking can easily fall behind in an instant, a subject in which no matter how much you study, you remain stuck in the same place, and it is difficult to know where to start or how to approach it.
The introduction of the high school credit system and the comprehensive overhaul of the 2028 college entrance system have further increased the confusion among students and parents, and with the reduction of the high school internal evaluation system from the previous 9-grade system to a 5-grade system, it has become more important than ever to prepare for a balanced mix of internal, performance, and CSAT scores.
Despite constantly changing regulations, such as those requiring the exclusion of "killer questions," these children maintain a top grade and achieve perfect scores in Korean. What secrets do they hold? The author of this book, who has taught Korean language to countless students in Daechi-dong and other educational special districts nationwide, suggests a new approach: the "Attitude Reset Learning Method."
The author points out the current state of students who are still stuck in the study methods of those accepted to prestigious universities: acquiring knowledge, memorizing works, and developing problem-solving skills.
Unfortunately, while this type of study method may be effective in quickly raising your mock exam scores, it doesn't work on the more selective CSAT.
To achieve unwavering results in the 12-year college entrance exam race, you must cultivate the right attitude that is in line with the essence of the Korean language test, such as 'the attitude of solving problems based on accurate evidence rather than feelings', 'the attitude of reading the options carefully', 'the attitude of controlling time for each subject', and 'the attitude of analyzing incorrect answers and accumulating your own data'.
The book contains a learning roadmap that will definitely lead my child to a top grade, including when the golden time for attitude change is, what attitudes need to be corrected at each learning stage from elementary to middle and high school, study strategies for each subject such as grammar, reading, and literature, how to use mock tests, how to read past exam questions, and practical tips to avoid mistakes on test day.
If you feel overwhelmed by your studies because your grades are stagnant no matter how hard you try, I hope you'll learn systematic study methods and practical strategies through this book.

Into the book
It is not a good attitude to jump into the text and read and solve problems without thinking because you want to quickly finish studying the difficult Korean language.
When checking your wrong answers, it is not a good attitude to immediately recite the correct answer and explanation without thinking carefully about why you are wrong.
First, calmly look over the "Options" and questions created by the examiner, set a goal for what keywords appear and what direction to read in the future, and then read the work to achieve that goal. In other words, a good attitude is to have an active and goal-oriented attitude.
---From "If you don't change your attitude, your grades won't change"
If you go to a bookstore, you will often see so-called "brick books" that are packed with countless words, claiming that they will help you build your vocabulary.
However, what is needed to increase the vocabulary of a child who has passed the natural acquisition period is not the absolute number of words.
It is much more important to understand how important vocabulary is in Korean, what types of questions are asked, and how systematically you should study them to acquire them efficiently.
Because of the mistaken belief that 'unknown words = vocabulary' and the resulting vague fear and hostility towards vocabulary study, children become increasingly distant from studying Korean.
---From "Growing Up in Korean Language Study"
The real key to studying is starting with the child affirming who they are now, and going beyond improving grades to reaching the joy of learning.
So, I hope you will look into the heart of a child who has just momentarily lost his will to study and fallen, but is sitting there unable to believe in himself.
When children are provided with emotional support that fosters hope and expectation, they can break the chain of negative emotions on their own.
Soothing a child's negative emotions has the effect of reducing hostility toward studying, and can faithfully fulfill a child's will more than anything else.
---From "When I stumbled while studying"
Solving a lot of past exam questions and reading textbooks and workbooks over and over again is not something you do to finish Korean, master it, or get a perfect score.
By broadening your 'failure experience and failure spectrum', you will be prepared to deal flexibly and proactively with the types of problems and situations you encounter for the first time.
If you set your goals to master and get 100 points, you will feel pressured to get everything right, which will stiffen your thinking and make it impossible to deal with a crisis.
So, from now on, please think of 95 points as 100 points.
These 5 points will be the child's breathing space.
And based on that 5 point breathing, you can aim for 98 or 100 points.
---From "Teacher Eom's Counseling Center: Korean, What Should I Finish by When?"
The purpose of problem solving is to 'discover' what I don't know and 'improve' it while preparing for the real thing.
If you guess the correct answer, get it right by chance, or get it right without even knowing how you got it, then in fact, all your studying for that day was for nothing.
If you guess the correct answer this way, you won't be able to find what you're lacking.
Because most students never look at the questions they circled correctly again.
Having more circles may make you feel better, but it won't improve your grades.
(Omitted) In the actual CSAT, there are many trap options and attractive wrong answer options, so options that appear plausible on the surface are more likely to be wrong.
Not only that, I get really nervous on the day of the CSAT.
Because of this, there are many cases where fingerprints and prophecies bounce off the page, and the efforts made so far are in vain, leading to a superficial solution to the problem.
---From "Don't be overly happy about solving the problem"
As tension and anxiety increase, the senses tend to become relatively dull.
Therefore, students who are usually very tense should especially break the habit of relying on intuition to solve problems.
The first practice for this is scoring.
The higher the agreement between the estimated and actual scores, the more I know what I am solving and how I am solving it.
This means that I am confident in the problems I solve, which reduces the fluctuations in my scores depending on the difficulty of the test.
This means that you can always maintain a consistent score.
That's why many top students consider grades very important.
By developing the habit of grading problems immediately after solving them, you should continue to practice minimizing the number of times you think you got everything right when you actually made a lot of mistakes.
---From "Teacher Eom's Tips: How to Reduce Grade Fluctuations"
The path from recognizing the problem to finding the cause and then putting it into practice is the true completion of the wrong answer.
When analyzing incorrect answers, students often focus only on what they did wrong, which is not a very good approach.
It would be good if the error notebook also included praise.
“It was a good thing that I thought about it this way and solved it.
“I should solve it like that next time too”, “I think I managed my time well today.
You should also record positive elements, such as, “I should continue to solve problems with this feeling in the future.”
If you keep thinking about only the wrong things, your confidence and self-esteem will drop significantly.
I hope that creating a notebook of wrong answers, through self-consolation that you are doing well now, will be a way to improve not only your skills but also your mood.
---From "Compare Yesterday's Me with Today's Me"
The score on the mock exam is not important.
More importantly, it is important to accept the mock exam as an 'experimental field'.
I use mock exams as an opportunity to understand my objective position and review my problem-solving methodology.
I need to create my own reliable model through practical training to see how I can achieve the best results, and then actually implement it on the day of the CSAT.
All mock exams, including the 3rd, 6th, 9th, and private mock exams, are just experiments.
Only the CSAT is real.
If you prepare for the mock exam like this, viewing it as an experiment, the student's burden will be greatly reduced.
In the experimental field, you can try out various methods without fear of failure.
Also, in the experimental field, failure is part of the experience and you can grow through that experience, so it can also boost your confidence.
When checking your wrong answers, it is not a good attitude to immediately recite the correct answer and explanation without thinking carefully about why you are wrong.

Publisher's Review
If your grades don't improve no matter how much you study,
I'm solving it with feeling!
The Attitude Reset Learning Method That Will Raise Your Score by 3 Levels in 3 Months
The most important thing to note when resetting to a first-class attitude is that 'test Korean and everyday Korean are different.'
The language we use in everyday life is not clear.
Most people speak roughly.
I rarely explain exactly what I mean in terms of the six principles.
"Go over there and bring this quickly." Where exactly does "over there" mean? What does "this" mean? Does "quickly" mean within one minute or within three minutes? Yes, that's right.
Language as life is originally a feeling.
_p.11
The exams taken by hundreds of thousands of test takers all have clear and definitive criteria for judgment so that they can all choose the same answer.
Therefore, from the moment you enter the full-scale entrance exam race, you must switch to the Korean language for the exam, but in many cases, this training is not done when you move from elementary to middle school.
If you ask, “Why is the correct answer to this problem number 3?” and the child answers, “I just thought it was number 3,” you should be suspicious of your child’s attitude toward studying.
If you solve it by feeling, there will be days when you get it right and days when you get it wrong depending on your condition on the day of the test. If your Korean language score fluctuates like this, your grade will inevitably drop significantly in your third year of high school when the difficulty of the multiple choice questions increases rapidly.
Usually, from the upper grades of elementary school, children are blindly sent to essay academies or solve non-literature workbooks just like the kid next door who is good at studying. However, if they are too busy trying to keep up with the progress of the pre-learning and get caught up in the academy homework, the child develops an attitude of reading the problems superficially, checking the answer as soon as they solve the problem, and not thinking deeply about the wrong answer.
If you don't correct your wrong study attitude during this period, not only your grades but even your confidence in studying will be shaken.
In Part 1 of this book, we point out what the correct attitude toward studying Korean is and what attitudes should be corrected during the introductory/growth/leap stages of studying Korean.
Just by changing your attitude toward the Korean language test, you can quickly improve your score and escape the perennial 3rd or 4th grade.
“If we don’t fix it now, it will definitely collapse!”
A first-class attitude that completes first-class
A roadmap for learning Korean language for internal exams, performance, and the CSAT that only I want to know.
Part 2 of this book examines practical Korean language strategies, including problem-solving techniques based on a first-grade attitude.
You can check out the roadmap for completing high scores on your school report card, performance test, and college entrance exam, including how to read based on accurate evidence rather than intuition, how to reduce mistakes with self-objectification data, metacognitive training for difficult problems, how to read past exam questions without fear of discrimination problems, a study method for sure to get the top grade in school report card, and writing strategies for essay and descriptive questions and performance evaluation.
Above all, the decisive attitude that distinguishes between first and third grade is not to be impatient.
The author says that parents, more than their children, should have an attitude of not being obsessed with grades.
Most parents will tell you, “If you don’t know, just guess and solve it!” But the child who eventually gets a first-class grade is different.
They have the courage to not choose an answer for which the basis for judgment is unclear.
All mock exams, including the 3rd, 6th, and 9th, are just experiments.
Only the CSAT is the real test.
In the experimental field, failure is also a part of the experience, and you can grow through that experience, so it can also boost your confidence.
If you have a top-notch attitude like this, you can maintain a steady pace until the CSAT day and achieve the results you want.
A positive attitude toward college entrance exam preparation leads to a proactive approach to planning your own life after entering college.
If you want to change your grades, you have to start with your behavior. If you want to change your behavior, you have to start with your attitude.
When your attitude changes, your life changes.
My child can change too.
Vivid testimonials from students who experienced the Attitude Reset learning method.
I used to just solve problems by feeling, but now I'm starting to look at the options one by one.
I also finished my first middle school final exam with a score of 98.
My change in attitude towards studying is all thanks to teacher Tae-wook Eom.
- Kang Eun-woo, first year student at Shinpyeong Middle School
I went from being a no-base student with a grade 8 or 9 to a student with a grade 1 or 2 attitude.
I was able to solve literary texts based on precise judgments based on characters, events, and backgrounds, rather than relying on a plausible "feeling," and I was also able to learn how to maintain concentration until the end of the text.
- Lee Na-yoon, 2nd year student at Moonyoung Girls' High School
It was very helpful to learn how to approach the subject of Korean, rather than simply how to solve a single problem.
Especially before taking the class, I used to solve problems based on my intuition without any confidence. However, as I took the class, I tried to understand the exact meaning of the problems and identify my weaknesses, and as a result, I gradually gained confidence in Korean.
- Shin Yo-han, 2nd year student at Yangcheon High School
I scored a 70 on the mock exam in March of my third year of high school, which put me in the bottom third grade. But I scored a 92 on the CSAT, earning me a top grade! I always looked forward to attending your classes.
It is essential that grades improve, and it allows students to continue to dream and plan for their lives.
I think your teachings will be of great help to me in the future.
- Ahn Ye-won, freshman at Sungkyunkwan University
I took the class during winter break in my first year of high school and jumped from level 2 to level 1.
After that, I achieved a top grade in my internal exams and also finished the college entrance exam with a top grade.
Just changing my attitude really helped my grades go up! - Da-yeon Lee, freshman at Ewha Womans University
When I first took the high school mock exam without any preparation, I couldn't even finish all the questions within the given time and was a beginner in Korean, stuck at level 4. However, after studying for three years based on the teacher's methodology, I maintained a level 1 grade throughout all three years of high school and even achieved the top 1% in Korean language scores on the college entrance exam.
As the teacher said, there are no defined people who are good at Korean and those who are bad at it.
Getting a first-class Korean language score is not a matter of absolute ability, but depends on how I view Korean.
No matter what problem I face, if I am prepared, I will get the results I want.
- Kim Yu-ha, a third-year student at Seoul National University
I'm solving it with feeling!

Most parents will tell you, “If you don’t know, just guess and solve it!” But the child who eventually gets a first-class grade is different.
They have the courage to not choose an answer for which the basis for judgment is unclear.
All mock exams, including the 3rd, 6th, and 9th, are just experiments.
Only the CSAT is the real test.
In the experimental field, failure is also a part of the experience, and you can grow through that experience, so it can also boost your confidence.
If you have a top-notch attitude like this, you can maintain a steady pace until the CSAT day and achieve the results you want.
A positive attitude toward college entrance exam preparation leads to a proactive approach to planning your own life after entering college.
If you want to change your grades, you have to start with your behavior. If you want to change your behavior, you have to start with your attitude.
When your attitude changes, your life changes.
My child can change too.
Vivid testimonials from students who experienced the Attitude Reset learning method.
I used to just solve problems by feeling, but now I'm starting to look at the options one by one.
I also finished my first middle school final exam with a score of 98.
My change in attitude towards studying is all thanks to teacher Tae-wook Eom.
- Kang Eun-woo, first year student at Shinpyeong Middle School
I went from being a no-base student with a grade 8 or 9 to a student with a grade 1 or 2 attitude.
I was able to solve literary texts based on precise judgments based on characters, events, and backgrounds, rather than relying on a plausible "feeling," and I was also able to learn how to maintain concentration until the end of the text.
- Lee Na-yoon, 2nd year student at Moonyoung Girls' High School
It was very helpful to learn how to approach the subject of Korean, rather than simply how to solve a single problem.
Especially before taking the class, I used to solve problems based on my intuition without any confidence. However, as I took the class, I tried to understand the exact meaning of the problems and identify my weaknesses, and as a result, I gradually gained confidence in Korean.
- Shin Yo-han, 2nd year student at Yangcheon High School
I scored a 70 on the mock exam in March of my third year of high school, which put me in the bottom third grade. But I scored a 92 on the CSAT, earning me a top grade! I always looked forward to attending your classes.
It is essential that grades improve, and it allows students to continue to dream and plan for their lives.
I think your teachings will be of great help to me in the future.
- Ahn Ye-won, freshman at Sungkyunkwan University
I took the class during winter break in my first year of high school and jumped from level 2 to level 1.
After that, I achieved a top grade in my internal exams and also finished the college entrance exam with a top grade.
Just changing my attitude really helped my grades go up! - Da-yeon Lee, freshman at Ewha Womans University
When I first took the high school mock exam without any preparation, I couldn't even finish all the questions within the given time and was a beginner in Korean, stuck at level 4. However, after studying for three years based on the teacher's methodology, I maintained a level 1 grade throughout all three years of high school and even achieved the top 1% in Korean language scores on the college entrance exam.
As the teacher said, there are no defined people who are good at Korean and those who are bad at it.
Getting a first-class Korean language score is not a matter of absolute ability, but depends on how I view Korean.
No matter what problem I face, if I am prepared, I will get the results I want.
